Drivers caught in the outside lane should not have been prosecuted because the cameras were on the hard shoulder, Home Office guidelines say.

so even though the HO guidelines for use were not adhered to they still say that the convictions are safe and will be defended against.

I am once again confounded by the arrogance of public bodies in this country that seems to flow down from government.
If we don't adhere to the rules we are breaking the law and suffer the consequences.
If they do not adhere to the rules then it makes no difference it seems.

Whether the evidence is reliable or not is irrelevent in this case - the police, SCP and other justice / enforcement related bodies HAVE to be seen as whiter than white.
If they ignore the laws and rules as they pertain to carrying out their functions how can they continue to penalise others for transgressing rules.

The double standards is one of the things driving a wedge between the police etc and the public and I believe does great damage
